"There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the heavens."

12-12-2015 Special CAP Part 1

I’ve had the pleasure to be the CO of the Flying Tigers since the squadron was commissioned on 11-29-2012. The Raven performed an OP not long ago and in the planning of it I forgot about this important date. I decided to call a Special CAP last night in honor of our 3rd Anniversary.

When I realized the date had past, I didn’t have the time to alert my pilots or to choose a later date. It was last night or let it slip past until next year. Everyone’s busy this time of year and I honestly didn’t expect much of a response from my squadron.

I invited members of the Seekers to join in on the fun of an impromptu CAP. As you may know, the Seekers have been very active since their 1st CO Lt Jg “Mik Mo” was given command of the squadron.

The time drew near, I logged into the BFC and there was only Ens. “Wedge” and I at the appointed time. The two of us chatted for a short while and then Ens. “Vampire” joined us. Needless to say, the CAP began and the Toasters were falling like flies. Near the end Ens. “Freya” joined us in her Raptor.

As always, when a few members of the Raven get together things progress quickly as the sparks fly. Since none of the Flying Tigers were able to make it last night, we'll have to plan a special OP next year to take place the Saturday before our 4th Anniversary.

Take a look and see what a couple pilots can do in a short time.

I don't think there will be many here tonight.

Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

Oh well, that's what I get for not giving any notice of something like this.

So, how about we take out the Attack Raptors tonight?

Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

Either those or vipers, chief says both are fueled and ready

Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

I made a few edits and then the 3 parts were out of order. I had to delete them and re-post them so they would be back in order. I hope I don't do that again. What a pain and waste of time. Next year we'll have to perform a special mission to celebrate our 4th Anniversary in true Tiger style.
